GE is obligated to provide Interfacing information and data (such as protocol information) necessary to ensure an open Interface between GE's existing and future devices and third parties' devices in certain product combinations, and new Interfacing information relating to any Interface modification or upgrade of GE's devices.

Interoperability is the sharing of information between medical devices and information systems. It is fundamental to GE’s healthymagination objectives of lowering cost, increasing access and improving quality.

Overview

For smart intra-hospital transport and bedside monitoring

The convenient CARESCAPE* Monitor B450 is robust and flexible enough to meet a patient’s changing acuity and care needs, and light enough to travel with the patient throughout your hospital. Just unplug from the bedside and go; the wireless capability allows for continuous patient monitoring and data continuity. Flexible design allows for a multi-parameter module with hemodynamic measurements and one additional single-width measurement module.

Transportable and affordable, the CARESCAPE Monitor B450 has been designed with emergency departments and surgery centers in mind.

Up to 72-hour parameter trends allow you to analyze changes in the patient’s status, as well as evaluate the treatment’s effectiveness.

Diagnostic quality of 12SL* analysis and automatic, initial interpretation, along with two-way integration to the MUSE* cardiology information system, enable fast, validated access to a patient's 12SL history and serial comparison of cardiac status.

Through PiCCO technology, a less invasive hemodynamic monitoring capability that may help in managing fluid therapy, assessing volume status, assessing cardiac contractility and detecting pulmonary edema in pediatric and adult patients.

Modules

The CARESCAPE Monitor B450 can accommodate one multi-parameter module and one E-Module.

CARESCAPE Respiratory Modules (E-sCO(V) and E-sCAiO(V)): Family of four airway modules designed to monitor respiratory and ventilator parameters in anesthesia and critical care applications. Depending on the module type, version and the clinical application, they provide measurements of airway gases, anesthetic agents with identification and Patient Spirometry. Acronyms:

E-EEG Module: Continuous integrated neuromonitoring with four channels of EEG and with auditory evoked potentials (AEP). The EEG headbox, N-EEG, must be used with the module.

E-BIS Module: Monitors the state of the brain in the OR, ICU and procedural sedation locations. In addition to the BIS, the monitors display one channel of raw EEG, suppression ratio, signal quality index (SQI) and EMG.

E-Entropy Module: Contains GE’s unique Entropy* algorithm that monitors the state of the brain during anesthesia.

E-NMT Module: Integrates measurement of the level of neuromuscular block and provides a quantitative, automatic measurement of muscle response to an electrical stimulus.
